Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a resident-centered comprehensive care plan (CP - a document that describes a resident's needs and how the nursing home will meet them) for one of three residents (Resident 1) by failing to ensure Resident 1 had a care plan for Resident 1's oral/dental status. This failure had the potential for Resident 1 to not receive the care and services needed to address Resident 1's edentulous (the complete loss of all natural teeth) mouth.
Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of left cerebral vascular accident (CVA - a medical condition that occurs when blood flow to the brain is suddenly interrupted), type 2 diabetes (DM - a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 8/12/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to think, learn, and remember). The MDS indicated Resident 1 required setup or clean-up assistance from staff for eating and required supervision or touching assistance (helper provided verbal cues and/or touching/steadying) with oral and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 1 had no natural teeth or tooth fragment(s)(edentulous). During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P - the most formal and complete assessment of the patient and the problem), dated 8/19/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 1 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/25/2024 at 11:45 am with the Assistant Director of Nursing/MDS Nurse (ADON/MDS Nurse), Resident 1's care plans were reviewed. The ADON/MDS Nurse stated Resident 1 was admitted [DATE], and there was no care plan developed for Resident 1's oral/dental status and no interventions implemented until 11/21/2024 to address Resident 1's edentulous mouth. The ADON/MDS Nurse stated there should have been a care plan created for Resident 1's dental condition because Resident 1 could have lost weight. The ADON/MDS Nurse stated the facility did not follow its policy and procedure. During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/25/2024 at 2 pm with Registered Nurse (RN) 1,

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Resident 1's medical record was reviewed. RN 1 stated Resident 1 was admitted [DATE], and his dental care plan was not initiated until 11/21/2024 and dental consult was not completed until 11/21/2024. RN 1 stated Resident 1 could have lost weight. RN 1 stated the facility's policy indicated a care plan should be done within 48 hours of admission and 7 days of the resident's MDS being completed. RN 1 stated the care plan was not developed timely.

Provide appropriate foot care.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three residents (Resident 1) received proper treatment and care for foot health by failing to arrange Resident 1's consult with a podiatrist (a medical professional who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of foot, ankle, and lower limb disorders) in a timely manner.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in a delay of the provision of foot care and treatment for Resident 1 which could result in podiatric complications.
Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of left cerebral vascular accident (CVA - a medical condition that occurs when blood flow to the brain is suddenly interrupted), type 2 diabetes (DM - a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). During a review of Resident 1's untitled care plan (CP) dated 8/11/24, the CP indicated Resident 1 had diabetes mellitus. The CP interventions included for staff to refer Resident 1 to podiatrist/foot care nurse to monitor/document foot care needs and to cute long nails. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 8/12/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to think, learn, and remember). The MDS indicated Resident 1 required setup or clean-up assistance from staff for eating and required supervision or touching assistance (helper provided verbal cues and/or touching/steadying) with oral and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 1 had other open lesion(s) on the foot (unspecified). During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P - the most formal and complete assessment of the patient and the problem), dated 8/19/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 1 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's podiatry nursing home visit note dated 11/14/2024, the note indicated Resident 1 had dystrophic toenails (toenails that are deformed, thickened, brittle, or discolored) bilateral (b/l) hallux (a toe deformity that causes the big toe to shift towards the second toe) and second (2nd) toenails were dystrophic, elongated, discolored, crumbly with subungual debris (a crusty material that forms under nail as a result of a fungal infection). The note indicated Resident 1's mycotic (relating to, caused by, or an infection with a fungus) dystrophic toenails were debrided (to remove damaged tissue) and debulked (to remove all or most of the substance). The podiatrist recommended routine foot care in 60 days or as needed and keep Resident 1's feet protected. During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/25/2024 at 11:45 am with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON/MDS Nurse), Resident 1's care plans were reviewed. The ADON/MDS Nurse stated Resident 1 had a diabetes care plan dated 8/11/24 with intervention for podiatrist/foot care. The ADON/MDS Nurse stated the care plan was not implemented timely and the podiatrist consult was not arranged until 11/14/2024 (three months later). The ADON/MDS Nurse stated Resident 1's untimely consult with the podiatrist could result in complications because Resident 1 had diabetes.
